The great strength acquired by Port
land cement with a solution of calcium
chloride rs shown by the fact that even
the runners of cement mills are now
repaired with that mixture, thes stones
being put to work within an hour of
repairing, the cement possessing per-
feet resistance and wearing less than

ployed for the same purpose. All
joints can by this means be made with
great facility, acquiring in short time
extreme solidity, the slight swelling
during setting being also very useful
in filling the hollows and making good
adhesion. Setting begins in three or
four months, and is attended with an
elevation of temperature that may at

eight or ten days, il may be so inn

dinarily damp air having no influence
upon the mixture. When great hard
ness and quick setting are particularly
desired, the cement may be used in its
pure state, but in general an equal
mixture of sharp sand is found to an

THE New Zealand Loan and Mercan-
tile Assurance Company of Melbourne,
in a circular of crop prospects in Aus
tralia, SAYS: "The recent hot weather,
though it has had forcing influence
ON growing crops, has not been favor
able to filling out wheat heads, and in
some districts in the North the accounts
to hand of the condition of wheat on
the plains are far from favorable. On
irrigated lands the yields will be large
but the average computed in the latter
is small. A difference of four bushels
to the acre on dry land to thirty-ilve
and forty on irrigated indicates what
can be done. Some indications OF rust
have appeared, but they have been
mainly confined to poor soils or over
worked land. Grasshoppers are numer-
Gus, but crops are too much advanced
as a rule, to suffer much from this in

counts promise six-bushsl average.

Cholera in Japan.

Some history of cholera in Japan has
recently been published by the Director
of the Sanitary Bureau for the EN-
pire. According to this authority
cholera is known to have appeared in
Japan in 1922, commencing at Naga-
saki. the only port then open to foreign
commerce; and at the same time the
disease is known to have prevailed in
China. Another epidemic took place
in 1858, but no statistical information
is available as to either of these out
breaks. But since the empire has been
freely open to foreign vessels cholera
has been much more frequent. IL
entered in 1876, and in 1877 it caused
1857 deaths. The next epidemic was in
1879, when 105. 7S6 fatal attacks were
recorded. After this there was cessa-
ton until 1885, during the course OF
which 7,152 deaths occurred, and the
disease has extended into the present
wear. Cholera is admitted TO be, in
Japan as elsewhere, generally associat-
ed with the prevalence of local filth, and
great efforts are being made by the
Sanitary Bureau to effect improvements
in this respeet,-M T. Post

question of Il strike against the pool of
the beer brewers to the members of the
local district organizations. If the To-
Gals back up their association they will
order all members to stop buying beer
from the seventy-seven breweries which
form the pool and to buy their beer
from the six brewers who do not be-
long to the pool. The saloon keepers
say that if they wish to change their
brewer they have to pay ten per cent.
more for beer, and that the brewers in
the pool agree to forfeit two dollars for
every barrel of beer they sell to another
brewers customer. They claim that

MONEY RECOVERED.

The Arrest of "Jim Cummings" Results in
the Recovery of Much of the Stolen
Money
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Dec 3O.-Whe the
train from LeavenwOrth pulled into the
Union Depot yesterday morning, attached
to it was a special car containing none other
than Fred Whitrock, alias Jim Cummings"
the principal in the Adams Express rob
berry on the Frisco road, accompanied by
Robert Pinkerton and several of his detec-
tives. Few of the curious crowd who as
sembled at the depot were aware of this
fact, and the party had departed for Atchi-
son before hardly any one was aware of
their identity. Some hours later, on the
evening train in fact, the party returned to
Kansas City, and Jim Cummings" was
placed in hack and driven to the office of
the Adams Express Company, where he re-
mained in the custody of detectives until
about one o'clock this morning, when he
was removed to the ST. James Hotel.
While Whitrock, accompanied by Pink
erton, was in Atchison, where $1,000 of the
stolen money was recovered, detectives in
Kansas City were not idle, for from con-
fession made by Whitrock they were en-
abled to locate S17 500 of the express money
buried in a spot not far from the distillery
and secured it all

from the house, bundle of the 'swag''
